Geonovast Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Are the front bumpstops for the ZJ the same as the XJ? They look identical. A guy my mom works with managed to slightly bend one and it's rubbing on the spring, causing a popping noise when he turns. Oh, 97 ZJ, 318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I gotta know how he managed that! :eek: Right after my 4wd swap with the ford axles my bumpstops rubbed like crazy when the suspension cycled (long story), but didn't make a sound turning corners. But I've experienced popping noises while turning due to worn swaybar links and worn trackbar ends. I wonder if the bumpstop is actually his issue. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 I grabbed everything else under there there was no play in anything whatsoever, but the edge of the bumpstop is about 1/4 in from the coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 You couldn't move my trackbar with your hands, feet or a big crowbar, but sure enough it was moving. It could still be the bumpstop, but if it doesn't make any noise if you rock the Jeep up and down, I doubt it's making noise in turns. I still want to know how he bent it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 He's got no idea. It's stock and he doesn't do any trailriding whatsoever. My guess is the PO bent it a little bit and just regular driving worked it to where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
